    Anyone know a place in ireland or at least an irish website that sells those yokes that let you use your PS1/2 pad on your PC?

    You should be able to pick up PS2 to PC Controller Adapter (its USB) on eBay for a couple o' quid.

    I got this one

    http://www.kanection.co.uk/product.php/34/1//8c6ebe2a70d18c27c1f4fa20efb9d9e8

    I use it loads and it has never given any grief. Also, it supports two controllers at the same time, so you can play two player split-screen games as well as single player ones. I use it mostly for Grand Prix 4 and Toca 3.

    Delivery was very quick too. Highly recommended.

    Hope that helps.

    Wouldn't recommend the Game ones. I bought one and it wouldn't calibrate properly at all. It was just unuseable.

    The pad works fine on the actual Playstation it came with, maybe I just got a dodgy adapter.

    Hilariously, installing the software caused my system to crash, necessitating it be removed before Windows agreed to work again.
    Meh, I returned it and they were surprisingly good about giving me my money back, so I'm not bothered. I already had a nice PC dual-analogue pad anyway.
